Intermediate sprint point truly is taking the proverbial today. Who sponsors that in this race, and what have they done to annoy the organisers?0

It's vital for the GC contenders to chip away at each other and bank seconds before stage 20 with it's summit finish atop the Alto de l'Angliru, when hearts will be broken and women will thrust babies towards the winner to be kissed. Until then, it's all window dressing.'Performance analysis and Froome not being clean was a media driven story. I haven’t heard one guy in the peloton say a negative thing about Froome, and I haven’t heard a single person in the peloton suggest Froome isn’t clean.' TSP0

I forgot PTP today. Noooooooooooooooooooooo.0

Sky not letting the break go...
They should.

Taking the definition of intermediate to a very unusual place! Hey, at least it means the sprint will be part of the TV coverage in the highlights.2015 Canyon Nerve AL 6.0 (son #1's)

Contador's giving it the big 'un. Froome/Sky must be loving this.0

Someone has crashed.0
-
Jesper Hansen and Domont from breakaway are the mystery crashers.0
-
Hansen (Astana) and DuMont (Ag2R) crashed0
-
Geez, Contador is having fun...0
-
TJ looks to have crashed...0
-
Looks like TJ VG and Axel Dumont and an Astana rider0
-
I do like the way Contador rides and the way Froome rides the Vuelta. 34km to go and a three man group.0

And while Froome may deliver the results, he does look like total sh*te on the bike...0

That bothers me about as much as the colour of socks debate.0 -

But it's truly noticeable when you have Contador and Froome going all guns next to each other...0 -
Nibs and Aru back with Contador and Froome... and a few others...0

Just waiting for another Nibali mugging (I do hope not).“You may think that; I couldn’t possibly comment!”

Contador has set it up to take advantage of his well known sprint.0

They're slowing to allow TVG back on... the organisers need a race...... dear oh dear, Berti and Froome could have bagged this stage if they'd kept going. The organisers would have skinned them alive...'Performance analysis and Froome not being clean was a media driven story.
